Pancakes: we cook with taste

At the word fritters, many have associations with childhood, when caring mothers and grandmothers spoiled their beloved children and relatives with this simple dish. I remember the taste of strawberry or raspberry jam, fragrant honey and hot, piping hot, fluffy pancakes.

Any housewife seeks to replenish and diversify her home arsenal with dough recipes for pancakes, since it is yeast pancakes that are not only airy and fluffy, but also incredibly tasty. We study several recipes to choose from and try to assess the advantages of each separately.

The secret of success

The main secret of success is quite simple - yeast, which can be raw (fresh) or dry. The first sell in most stores. It looks like small cubes of beige color in the package with the name. The composition of moisture in them is about eighty percent.

Good fresh yeast should crumble well and not stick to hands. They guarantee intensive fermentation of dough, and it is thanks to them that the most magnificent, ruddy and tasty pancakes are obtained.

Before buying an ingredient of the first type, it is worth checking the expiration date, because the fresher they are, the more dough will be. Keep them in the refrigerator only.

In the dough kneading procedure, it is obligatory to point that this ingredient should be filled with heated water and warm milk or kefir: the cold ones will not start the fermentation effect, and the hot ones will simply kill the living microorganisms that are responsible for the fermentation and raising of the finished dough.

Dry yeast is obtained by dehydration first. They are also sold in almost any grocery store, and they can be stored for a long time, without requiring any special conditions. Before adding them to the dough, it is necessary to pour the dry powder into pre-heated water, where to leave for 15 or 20 minutes. Warm kefir and warmed milk will also do.

The process of cooking fluffy and ruddy pancakes will take more time than usual. This is due to the fact that the dough should come up, and the so-called sponge rise with a cap. But the final result will not leave anyone indifferent.

Frying process

To make pancakes always beautiful, even and crispy, you need to fry them correctly. To do this, heat the vegetable oil in the pan well and place the ready-made dough on it with a spoon, carefully taking it at the edge of the bowl. If it sticks to a spoon, you can first dip it in warm water, after which the mass will not stick, and it will become easy to drain from the spoon to the pan.

The dough periodically increases in volume and therefore requires that it is occasionally laid and it does not “run away”. If you bake fritters in a small amount of oil, then for their baking should use a lid. She needs to close the pan while frying pancakes on one side. When turning them over to the other side, it is no longer necessary to cover the lid.

Each housewife will choose the most convenient and favorite recipe for her, after which she will not only be easy to indulge her homemade hot and crispy pancakes. It is enough just to carefully and correctly handle the ingredients that are responsible for the process of obtaining a good brew. Great mood and desire to please loved ones will be enough to make pancakes lush, tasty and rosy.
